Study 1 — Equilibrium Curve Parameterization
Now add a Stationary study to generate the equilibrium curve, using the defined analytic function. Note that the Reaction Engineering interface is not solved for. Here the Auxiliary sweep functionality in a stationary study is used to compute the equilibrium mole fraction of ethanol in the vapor phase at the bubble point.

Step 1: Stationary
1
In the Model Builder window, click the created Study 1
.
2
In the Settings window for Study, type
Equilibrium Curve Parameterization
in the Label text field.
3
Click Step 1: Stationary
under the Equilibrium Curve Parameterization node.
